Hi there
I also had lobular cancer - despite having had a mammogram only 18 months prior to finding the lump which showed the all clear.
Understandably I was a little wary of the medical professionals at that stage.
My fabulous ( female) GP referred me to a breast cancer surgeon who she said she would go to if it was her.
I ended up having a double mastectomy ( my choice) , radiotherapy and now at least 5 years of hormone therapy.
I have followed all the advice of my medical team on basis they are the experts.
Two years on from my diagnosis I am in a much better headspace.
No one said this was easy but with one out of seven Australian women having breast cancer the medical establishment have got this.
Take care and dont hesitate to post here - we all “ get it”.
